West Hartlepool
Encyclopedia : W : WE : WES : West Hartlepool
West Hartlepool refers to the western part of the modern borough of Hartlepool in North East England. Originally it was a separate settlement, with countryside in between, but urban sprawl joined the two towns.
The municipal borough of West Hartlepool was created in 1887, and it was promoted in 1902 to be a county borough outside the control of Durham County Council.
In 1967, a county borough, called Hartlepool, was established for both West Hartlepool and old Hartlepool (also adding the parish of Seaton from Stockton Rural District).
